Are you sure it is engine oil and not the grease which is found on the spring inside?

Strange.

I know over filling with oil can lead to oil getting to the breathers but dont think it should be in the pipe going to the dump valve.

I take it you mean the small pipe leading to the inlet manifold?

Somebody mentioned that it could be the turbo,are there any seals that could have split that could be the likely cause?? Not to clever with turbo units

I`ve cheked for other leaks in the bay around the turbo to see if maybe it was sucking up oil from elsewhere but nothing :wonder

Maybe a trip to a garage is in order

Cheers anyway guys
